First Quebecer to have achieved the rank of major international star for popular music. In a twenty-year career, she experienced the tumultuous love affairs, but has mostly charmed a generation with songs set to South American rhythms. While she is at the peak of glory, Alys will have put an end to her career. Victim of a manic depression, she will be locked up and will undergo a lobotomy. This film is a story of happiness and unhappiness, of passion and love disappointed, but it is mostly the story of a remarkable woman whose life and career were extraordinary.
